Also, if you get a chance, go to FoxNews.com and scroll down to the lower part of the homepage. There's a graphic with a badge that says "PC Patrol." There's an article there about females at an all-girls college removing feminine pronouns from their Constitution b/c it will alienate transgender shemales... -sdk

He didn't move to San Francisco, did he?

[martin_fierro]

YES!! I remember Nosmo!

Used to DIG that silvery car of his. <|:)~

Great, you mention Liberty Ave., and I've involuntarily remembered the days when I had to be "dahntahn" at 6 a.m. Invariably, I'd see male trannie prostitutes hanging around the Edison (now called Club Elite, I believe), finishing their work day, I guess.
~~shudder~~

eeeks, i never saw the seamy side of dahntahn. just used to go christmas shopping there. didn't venture dahn from oakland much.

[xsmommy]

paul shannon's gotta be dead by now, dontcha think?

[martin_fierro]

Well, Paul Long is gone, so I imagine Paul Shannon is, too. <|:(~

If you say so...
I sometimes went to the Army/Navy surplus store looking for cheap camping gear, but other than that, I pretty much avoided that part of dahntahn. Can't really recall the names of the other places. (Except for maybe an orange/yellow brick parking garage. I think that was on Liberty.)

[mountaineer]

I seem to recall a Honus Wagner sports store near that Army-Navy store - does that sound right? It's been a long time since I trod that particular section of Liberty Ave.

[mountaineer]

He was an interesting guy. My late father (who worked in Pgh. TV) once rode in a plane Paul Long piloted, and said it was one of the most harrowing experiences of his life.

[martin_fierro]

My brother's bachelor party was at Club Ed.

The "stripper" I lined up for his lap dance was a transvestite -- a good one.

Two points:

• Do you have any idea how difficult it is to find a good transvestite in Pittsburgh?
• My bro's reaction when the transvestite pulled the wig off was one of the ten funniest things I ever saw.

Vaguely... but it's not someplace I ever went shopping.
You could pick up a pair of sneakers or a ballcap just about anywhere.
And Santa gave me my baseball glove and bat...
Other than that, you could always find a ball that was lost in the weeds next to the ballfield, or there were other kids who had a football or basketball to play with. Really didn't need much from the sports store.

LOL! I'm afraid that's a question that sent me off into the Twilight Zone, martin.
That's one of 'em thoughts that I never dreamt would ever cross my mind.
Heck, I'm still befuddled by the Andy Warhole museum.

Hmmmm...I always thought most of the folks in San Fran ought to go "f" themselves..
